For the Love of History - world history, women’s history, weird history

The Gothic novel didn’t emerge from nowhere.

As women’s literacy rates rose in the late 18th and 19th centuries, so did a powerful new reading public and with it, a transformation in literary culture. In this episode, we examine how expanded access to education created the conditions for the Gothic romance to flourish.

At the center of our discussion is Wuthering Heights: a novel that shattered conventions, redefined love, and helped shape the lineage of what we now call dark romance.

We explore:

The social history behind the rise of women readers

The emergence of women authors in the literary marketplace

Why Gothic romance became a cultural phenomenon

How Wuthering Heights became a genre-defining text

This is women’s history with a storm brewing beneath it.

It's a miracle the Olympic Games continued after the absolute clusterf*ck that was its early history. From near-death marathons to shady organizers and displays of human cruelty like no other, the Olympics of the early 1900's were chaotic to say the least. When it looked like the Olympic Games would be canceled, the 1906 Olympics forever showed up to save the day, but they're just one problem... they technically don't exist. 😳

Say hello to spicy TK this episode because I have MAD beef with the Japanese Imperial Household Agency and their very dumb rules! But besides attempting to get myself banned from Japan in this episode, we talk about

👑 One of my favorite people in Japanese history, Queen Himiko.
🍃 The origins of Shintoism
❌ the multiple attempts at erasing her history
😡 and why we aren’t ALLOWED to look for her

I hope you enjoy this episode!!
